- Abstract
Presents the results of a study of in vitro detection of acaricide resistance in Boophilus microplus. Economic losses caused by the Boophilus microplus causes in cattle in the tropical areas of Central and South America. Use of acaricides to control tick infestations, with the consequent selection of tolerant and resistant subpopulations; Association of detoxifying enzymes, and esterases in particular, with organophosphate resistance in Mexican isolates of B. microplus ticks; Results of the biochemical detection of esterases and oxidases in 20 isolates of larvae and adult ticks and the effect of esterase and oxidase inhibitors on larvae and adult stages of the tick; Indication that the presence of significant differences both in vivo and in vitro between esterase and oxidase activities of OP-susceptible and OP-resistant isolates, even when samples were collected in the same area; Importance of such differences in regionalized integrated pest management and in the US Tick Eradication Program.
